BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The awareness towards various sports is increasing day by day. This hasalso upgraded the standard of the sports. Earlier in cricket orbaseball, wearing helmet was not compulsory but after the death of someof the players, it became compulsory to wear a helmet. Introduction ofhelmets saved many players' life as many a times the ball hit the headof the players. But the players were still in the risk zone as sometimesthe ball hits on the hands of the players.

To overcome the problem of injuries, hand protection gloves wereintroduced. Hand protection gloves protect the hands of the players fromthe high speed ball. These gloves are made from PVC and cotton. But dueto its thickness, sweating is produced in the hands of the players whichresults in difficulty to grip a bat.

The present talks about a wearable apparatus for protecting limb fromthe injury while playing a sport like cricket or baseball. The apparatusabsorb the sweat from the user's hand and also insulate the skin fromultraviolet rays of sun.

Referring to FIG. 1, illustrates schematic view of the sports utilityapparatus for protecting a body part, wherein the apparatus comprises, asleeve 100 installed in the apparatus for covering hand of the user. Thesleeve 100 basically covers the hand from above the elbow to the palm ofthe hand. The fingers of the user are kept uncovered to make the userfeel comfortable while gripping a bat.

The fabric used in making the sleeve 100 is basically a mixture ofpolyester and elastane. This fabric also protect the skin from harmfulultraviolet rays as the fabric is UPF 50+ which means it allows only 2%of ultraviolet rays to pass through it. The fabric may manufacture indifferent colors.

The nature of this fabric of the sleeve 100 is very elastic because ofthat it grips the hand tightly and fits to all size of hands. The sleevesticks to the hand strongly which save the user from muscle cramp duringthe sport activity. The sleeve 100 does not cover the wrist area of thehand of the user, due to that the user does not face difficulty inperforming any type of wrist movement.

An anti-slip rubber band 101 is attached to a first side of the sleeve100. The first side is preferably the top side of the sleeve. Theanti-slip rubber band 101 protects the sleeve 100 from loosing down fromthe hand of the user. To wear the sleeve 100, the user needs to inserthis/her hand from the first side of the sleeve 100 and take it out fromthe third side. The third side is preferably the bottom side of thesleeve 100. The fingers of the user come out from the bottom side of thesleeve 100.

Referring to FIG. 2, illustrates perspective view of the sports utilityapparatus for protecting a body part, wherein the apparatus comprises,numbers of protection shields 102 are placed on the second side of thesleeve 100. The protection shields 102 are placed to protect the userhands from injury during the sport. The protection shield 102 ispreferably made up of graphite. The graphite is very light in weight andvery strong which helps the user in moving the hand easily and alsoprotect the hand from high speed ball.

The bonding in graphite is in such a way that each carbon atom usesthree of its electron to form simple bonds to its three close neighbors.That leaves a fourth electron in the bonding level. These spare electronin each carbon atom become de-localized over the whole of the sheet ofthe atom in one year.

They are no longer directly in contact with any particular atom or pairof atoms, but are free to wonder throughout the whole sheet. Theimportant thing the de-localized electron are free to move anywhere inthe sheet, each electron is no longer fix to a particular carbon atom,there is, however no direct contact between the de-localized electron inone sheet and those in the neighboring sheets.

Numbers of cavities 103 are embedded on the second side of the sleeve100. The second side is preferably the back side of the sleeve 100. Thecavities 103 are to carry the protection shields 102. One of the shield102 protects the back side of the palm of the user and another shieldprotects the wrist bone of the user.

The risk of being injured in a sport is reduced as the apparatus keepthe user protected from high speed balls and due to the presence ofgraphite, the shock generated by the ball striking with the hand of theuser in high speed is absorbed by the shield 3. Moreover the apparatusalso protect the user from harmful ultraviolet rays coming from the sun.
